After a timeout, A1 has the ball for a throw-in. The ball is live, the clock does not start until the ball is legally touched after it's been released by the thrower.

A shot is in the air when the horn sounds. The ball is live, the clock stopped when the horn sounded.

Few seconds after a successful field goal before the ball is at the disposal of the new throwin team. Do I get a prize?
